Sorry for spamming.  That was initially intentional, as I was also
asking about a timeline, if it existed, for fixing this, which I
didn't think was a support issue per se.

Well, that's the thing; once one downloads the new VMWare image and
tries to put the worksheets back where they belong, one still needs to
look for them by hand, which of course would take an insane amount of
time - unless I'm missing something.  So upgrading on VMWare is sort
of like moving files to another computer, unfortunately.  Anyway, I'll
report back to our admin.
